AMH is a hormone
which is produced by your antral follicles. If you have more antral follicles ,
this means that you have good ovarian reserve and the yield of eggs during your
IVF cycle is likely to be high too. Since antral follicles secrete AMH; the more
the number of antral follicles , the higher will be your AMH levels. This is
why AMH provides an indirect measure of your ovarian reserve. Many women tend
to think that since their AMH level is low , their ovarian reserve is poor , but
the truth is other way around – it is because of your poor ovarian reserve that
you have low AMH levels. The AMH is just a diagnostic marker of ovarian
function . This is why just increasing your AMH will not increase your ovarian reserve. If increasing ovarian
reserve was that easy, many biotech companies would have made a huge profit by
manufacturing AMH !
When you check
your AMH, do so in a reputed lab. If
your AMH comes back low , please to ask your doctor to repeat it again from
another lab; and to also do an antral follicle count between day 2-day 5 of
your cycle. If you have enough antral follicles and your AMH value is low, then
this reading perhaps could be because of some lab error. But if you have a low
AFC and your AMH is low too, then the diagnosis can be pretty clear – you have poor
ovarian reserve!
Low Vitamin D mean Low AMH
